F1Time - S21 - Race13 - Indianapolis, USA

Things changed when we reached Indy for the US GP. We saw a chance for a Team Championship and so we raced leaving aside my plan for a saving race. Christian was the fastest in our group and he took the POLE. Our team came next with myself settling behind Arunis. But once the race started, Christian seemed to be slower than expected. I was at his tail from Lap4 and I had to wait till my first change of tyres to overtake him. In between, Nezam dropped giving us some advantage. Rogerio was on 3 stops compared to our 4 and was threating to take the first place. In the end, i had a comfortable win. Rogerio settled for second while Christian took third. Arunis came fourth and thus gave 15 points to A-Squared. Rox's fan had a disappointing race with Panagiotis settling for 6th place. So we have cut down the TC gap to 10 points from 22 and we expect the Team Championship going down the wire. Another disappointment was Mik's Engine Explosion. This was his fourth try for points and he was set for some as well (he was running 6th), but on all occasions his engine failed him.
C1 battle seems to be almost over. Robertas has a clear lead and neither Yih nor Sow seems to have powered their BMLs good enough to match Robertas. The only competitor, and Real One too, is Eld at the moment. All depends on how close Robertas can get near Eld in the remaining races. But the WU showed a different picture where Robertas came ahead of Eld. Seems like his driver is super-charged for the occation. In qual, Nuno took the pole, seemingly with a Fav track. When the race began, the Double Overtaking Bug cost Robertas to loose his posn over Eld. Arus also was on fav track but he had qualified at the bottom of the table for progress money. All except Nuno were on 4 stops and Arus caught both Robertas and Eld after the first round of stops. The order stayed the same and Nuno won the race from Arus. Robertas finished above Eld and Yih came fifth. Woodi had a terrible strategy going for 2 stops and still finished 6th.
